  At least Paste without format ? ;)

  Paste already allows removing formatting from the text, please learn more at https://pasteapp.io/help/paste-as-plaintext-21

  I second what James is referencing here❗️ I think it might be worth revisiting this feature request, giving it a different title. In the screenshot exmaple, it's really showing something far more advanced than just removing the formatting from text.

  It looks similar to how Pastebot has Paste Filters, where you can effectively filter something you've copied to manke some process-driven change to it, like removing spaces, pushing the clipboard item through a RegEx and pasting the results, Finding & Replacing, etc.!!

  Yes, James is talking about something more robust than paste without formatting. At the very least I want to be able to write a series of sed expressions and name it as an Action which I can then apply to an existing copied thing.

  Thanks for the pointer to Clean Text (https://www.apimac.com/store/cleantext/) James. I'll use that in the mean time.

  In another feature request, someone mentioned Clean Text, https://www.apimac.com/store/cleantext/ I plan to check that out.

  I would love to be able to run some transformation expressions on copied text so it pastes the cleaned/transformed version.

  I now have Claude write me little shell scripts that run `sed` commands on the clipboard contents via pbpaste and pbcopy. Then I run the script (e.g. `x2y`) in the terminal and paste the transformed contents where I want it.
